[Intro]
G  G  C  D
G  G  C  D
[Verse 1]
GWhere the dry dust turns the sunset pink
Where Call summer long it's so Dhot that you can't think straight
GWhere we pulled water from a well by hand
CHalf a world away from the Dold promised land
EmWe understand we've been Ggiven
CA new covenant, a real Dsharp one
EmAnd we spend our days and Gnights
CGaining appreciation of its Dfiner points
GAnd waiting for the dead to Crise up from their Dgraves
GWaiting for Jesus Cto come along and save Dus
And Gbiding our Ctime
GBiding our Ctime
GBiding our Dtime as best we know Ghow
[Verse 2]
GWhere the Texas doughboys used to play
BeCfore the wind blew everything Daway
GWhere we came to get away from our friends
CWhere we'd tell each other jokes Dwaiting for the world to end
EmWe know our jokes are Gfunny
CBut in all the wrong ways and for Dall the wrong reasons
EmAnd we rent old George Romero Gmovies
CRelish the Dshort time left
GWaiting for the dead to Crise up from their Dgraves
GWaiting for Jesus Cto come along and save Dus
Yes, and Gbiding our Ctime
GBiding our Ctime
GBiding our Dtime as best we know Ghow

Half a world away from the old promised land

We understand we've been given

A new covenant, a real sharp one

And we spend our days and nights

Gaining appreciation of its finer points

And waiting for the dead to rise up from their graves

Waiting for Jesus to come along and save us

And biding our time

Biding our time as best we know how

Where we'd tell each other jokes waiting for the world to end

We know our jokes are funny

But in all the wrong ways and for all the wrong reasons

And we rent old George Romero movies

Relish the short time left

Waiting for Jesus to come along and save us
